| 中文描述 | 年輕馬匹,特別是純種馬,在訓練的前幾週可能在第三掌骨背面和(偶爾)蹠骨出現會痛的溫熱腫大。可能是雙側性的且工作會使情況更糟。非常常見,高達70%的年輕馬匹在訓練中可能有「bucked shins」。乾放射性攝影顯示大多病例有小的外皮破裂或是一般底片看不到的放射線易穿透區域。較嚴重的背測外皮破裂有被描述,通常在有「bucked shins」病史的馬匹。 |
| 英文描述 | Young horses, particularly Thoroughbreds, during their first few weeks of training can develop painful warm swellings over the dorsal surface of the 3rd metacarpal and (occasionally) metatarsal bones. May be bilateral and worsen with work. This is very common, and up to 70% of young horses in training may have 'bucked shins'. Xeroradiography shows that most cases have small cortical fractures or areas of radiolucency not visible with plain films. More serious dorsal cortical fractures have also been described, often in horses that had a history of 'bucked shins'. |
